About Dates and Date palm Packaging

Take Arabian Dates as an Example

Arabic dates are a staple food for people in Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East. Before the discovery of oil, Bedouins lived on Arabian dates for many years. Arabs associate cultural connotations with dates, especially some of the most respected Arab values, such as gratitude, generosity, and abundance. Some consider it a sacred fruit, and it is almost always served to guests as part of every Arab family's hospitality.

The significance of Arabian dates to people in the Middle East

Dates are mentioned in the Quran, the holy book of Muslims, and they break their fast during Ramadan with a few dates, just as their prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) did in the past. According to the Quran, Allah told the Virgin Mary to eat dates during the birth of Jesus because she was suffering from the pain of childbirth. In the Arab region, dates are not only an edible food, but also a historical culture

Packing of Arabian Dates

Dates are usually divided into Saudi dates, UAE dates, Algerian dates, etc. according to their origin.

Dates picked from palm trees can be eaten fresh or dried and stored for years. When dates are dried and packed in plastic bags, they tend to produce a sweet syrup that keeps the dates moist and tasty. A very common method of packaging dates is vacuum packaging for retail purposes in stores, supermarkets or online stores.

Among all the packaging types for Arabic dates, the most common are outer packaging and vacuum packaging, plastic bags for retail and thermoformed vacuum plastic bags, usually 250g, 500g and 1000g packaging.
